LUA script for Sony Bravia TV

[G3rard]

The script_time_tvstatus.lua is time script which you seem to use as a device script, as your first post says script_device_tv.lua. Check the wiki for the differences and how to use it.

I understand the difference and I use both scripts with the correct name. They work ok, it just logs an error:

Code: Select all

2016-06-08 20:48:00.485 LUA: TV ping success
2016-06-08 20:48:00.528 LUA: TV says it is standby
2016-06-08 20:48:00.528 LUA: TV standby, status is OFF, so do nothing.

and

Code: Select all

I got the Power Management working on my Sony tv as well.
Thanks!

[rickwilleme]

Still very happy with the current integration!
Any clue if volume control will also be an option?

[maomanna]

I have the status script working,
but how can I switch it off/on or use the TV in blockly's?

[Sergio]

So after all the changes, the script_device_tv.lua should look like this:

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

if(devicechanged['TV']) then
  if (devicechanged['TV'] == 'On') then
    if(uservariables['TVOnlyStatusUpdate'] == 1) then
       print('TV status update received (ON), resetting user variable.')
       commandArray['Variable:TVOnlyStatusUpdate'] = '0'
    else
       runcommand = '/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/tvremote.sh PowerOn'
       os.execute(runcommand)
       print('TV got wake up call')
    end    
  end
  if (devicechanged['TV'] == 'Off') then
    if(uservariables['TVOnlyStatusUpdate'] == 1) then
       print('TV status update received (OFF), resetting user variable.')
       commandArray['Variable:TVOnlyStatusUpdate'] = '0'
    else
       runcommand = '/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/tvremote.sh PowerOff'
       response = os.execute(runcommand)
       if response then
          print('TV goes sleepy sleep')
       else
          print('TV not in the mood for sleepy sleep')
       end
    end 
  end
end

return commandArray

Nice work, guys! Thank you.

Thanks guys! Script is working great!

Prerequisites:

• Create a virtual switch (On/Off) named "TV"
• Create a user variable (integer) named "TVOnlyStatusUpdate", with value 0
• Install etherwake (sudo apt-get install etherwake)
• Enable remote start on your TV: [Settings] → [Network] → [Home Network Setup] → [Remote Start] → [On]
• Enable pre-shared key on your TV: [Settings] → [Network] → [Home Network Setup] → [IP Control] → [Authentication] → [Normal and Pre-Shared Key]
• Set pre-shared key on your TV: [Settings] → [Network] → [Home Network Setup] → [IP Control] → [Pre-Shared Key] → [sony]
• Give your TV a static IP address, or make a DHCP reservation for a specific IP address in your router.
• Determine the MAC address of your TV: [Settings] → [Network] → [Network Setup] → [View Network Status]

The virtual switch will, obviously, be used in the interface to control the device and see the status. The user variable is to determine whether the device has been switched on or off via the timed script. If that is the case, the device script doesn't have to actually switch on/off the device. In that case only the status in Domoticz has to be updated.

For starters i new to domoticz so bare with me. What i want start with is to get a indication if the tv is on or not, i have a sony bravia KDL55HX 823, and i cant set pre-sharedkey neither do i have the ipconfig menu. But in my network i can access and ping the ip for the tv so i think i can get a indication if its on or off. But how should the cript look like'? And how do i use this script? I have followed the steps above but cant get it to work.

EDIT: I have fixed if i ping i get a status that its on and off when i shut down the wifi on the tv. But the standby function.. how do i get this to work?

[electronicsguy]

@tharland - I think your TV doesn't support the network remote function. Similar to my TV, Sony KLV series. They options of PSK and others are missing in the TV's network menu. I can also ping but not actually control the TV with the scripts. My TV is also not listed (by Sony itself) as being compatible with their "sideview" app. So I think it's futile to use these script on non-compatible TVs.

[Tharland]

@electronicsguy I have a Sony TV with options for side view that is set to "on". I can control the tv with app for smartphone. But this isn't maybe the same?

[maomanna]

The Sony bravia series without android have a notification function.
I cannot find the command to send a notification to the TV.

This can be usefull to use PiP with securitycamera's or just a notification when the doorbell/windowsensor is triggered.

Anyone know how to do this?

[Slayer007]

I own a Sony XD9305, but I can't get the status or lua-scripts to work. What am i doing wrong? In domoticz I get the error: lua:5: unexpected symbol near char(194).

What does that mean?

[Persisto]

@ StefanPuntNL Thanks for that, works perfectly

Currently working on a Python plugin for the Sony Bravia TV. See the link below for some more information.

[CodeFestus]

My 46EX523 doesn't have:
[Settings] → [Network] → [Home Network Setup] → [IP Control]

It does work with SlideView (goes through a handshake to register).
Has anyone figured out that protocol?

[G3rard]

@CodeFestus, have a look at viewtopic.php?f=65&t=16910&start=20#p128866.
You should get this working with the use of a cookie.

Hello G3rard, works fine on my kd-55x9005b. Will it be possible to read out the channel list from TV?

[G3rard]

You mean the Sony Bravia Python plugin works fine with your TV?
And it is possible to read out the channel list from the TV, but how do you want to use it in Domoticz?

[vgr2]

Yes I mean the Python plugin. Sorry i did the replay on wrong topic. Yes and read out the cannel list into your channel plugin...maybe more than 9 channels.

[G3rard]

Good to hear it's working
The selector switch in Domoticz only supports 10 values, so it's not possible to show all channels.
I am currently testing the remote control from Domoticz, which gives the option to show the EPG and choose a channel.
Edit: see viewtopic.php?f=65&t=16910&p=132330#p132330 for latest version with remote control support.
